FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to traumatology of the maxillofacial area, and can be applied for the treatment of mandibular fractures. For this purpose the reposition and fixation of bone fragments by means of osteosynthesis or dental splints are carried out. After the reposition and fixation of bone fragments, diluted with physiological solution or the local anaesthetic botulinum toxin A - Botox or B Myoblock is introduced once into the muscles, participating in the displacement of mandible fragments. The preparation is introduced with the distribution of the total volume and maximally allowed quantity of units by 20% in the area of muscle fixation to the bones and by 80% into the zone of the highest electric activity of the muscles, verified by the method of electromyography.
EFFECT: method provides an increased rigidity of fixation of the mandible bone fragments due to the reduction of a risk of displacement and mobility of the fragments, acceleration of consolidation processes.
